The development course of Luo Shu

It is recognized by academic circles that the earliest record of China's ancient books on the river map and Luo Shu is the book Shangshu Gu Ming recorded by court historians in the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty. According to the article, Zhou Chengwang, the son of Zhou Wuwang, died of illness after 19 years in power. Historians of the Western Zhou Dynasty saw at the ceremony of his son's succession held at the Wang Wen Ancestral Hall in Luoyi: "Yu Yue, Wu Chong, Chen Bao, Chi Dao, Da Xun, Hong Bi and Wan Yan are in the west sequence; Dayu, Yuyi, Celestial Sphere, Hetu and Luoshu are in the East Preface (Biography of Shangshu). The evaluation of this passage in the Complete Translation of China Ancient Books is: "Yu Yue, Chen Bao, Hong Bi, Wan Yan, Dayu, Yu Yi and Tianjie are all precious stones from different places of origin; Order, wall also; Red knife, the knife used in Zhou Wuwang's cutting, is red, so is Zhou Zhengze; Da Xun is an ancient book that records the commandments of the former king; Hetu and Luoshu are ancient books. " (See Zhang Zangong's Book of Hutuluo, which cannot be denied at will).

As for the origin of Luo Shu, "River paints, Luo writes, and saints write." So when, where, by whom and how did Luo Shu come into being? Generally, there are three kinds of statements.

First, Fuxi said. Explaining the word "Hutuluo", Ci Hai said: "... It is said that in Fu, dragons and horses appeared from the Yellow River, carrying a" river map "; A turtle appeared from Luoshui, carrying' Luoshu'. Fuxi painted gossip according to this' picture' and' book', which was the source of Zhouyi later. " (See Shanghai Dictionary Publishing House 1979 Edition "Ci Hai" condensed edition).

Second, the Yellow Emperor and Cang Xie said. "Records of the Historian" says: "Huangdi Cave patrolled the river and crossed the Luoshui River, repaired the altar and sank the jade, collected the dragon map in the river, and wrote the tortoise book in the Luo River." "Notes on Water Classics: Luoshui Tiao" quoted "Diji" as saying: "Luoshui flows eastward in the mountain of Zhongti and eastward in Iraq. Yesterday, the Yellow Emperor swam across Luoshui for three foggy days and saw a big fish, which was treated with five beasts. It rained heavily, and for seven days and seven nights, the fish began to flow. " Shen Yue, a Southern Liang writer, said in Song Shu: "The Yellow Emperor is sitting on Hu Xuan and Luoshui, and there is a picture of a phoenix in front of him." Luo Ping's annotation of "River Map Jade Edition" says: "For the emperor's southern tour, he climbed the mountain of Yangque, and accepted the book of Luo's water, which was given by Jia Danwen."

Third, Dayu said. When explaining the word "Hutuluo", Cihai added: "When Yu treated the flood, God gave him" Hong Fan Jiu Chou "(Shang Shu Hong Fan). Liu Wei thinks that Hong Fan is Luo Shu. " The History of the Five Elements in the Later Han Dynasty said: "When Yu was in charge of water control, he gave Luo Shu and learned from the law. The same is true for Hong Fan. " The biography of Han Kong Anguo contains: "The son of heaven and publishing books. The tortoise came out with a negative article, which was listed at the back, with nine articles. Therefore, Sui Yu is the first to form nine types of common roads. "

Although some people have different views on Luoshu Office, or think that it is on the bank of Luohe River in Shaanxi Province or at the intersection of Luohe River in gongyi city, Henan Province, it is an indisputable fact that Luoshu Office is located in Luoning, said Qu, deputy director of the Propaganda Department of Luoning County. He said that on the Luo Yao River, there are two ancient monuments dedicated to the source of Luoshu and other relevant "physical evidence" of Xichangshui Village in Weiluoning County. Although it has a long history and diverse legends, there are different opinions on whether Luo Shu is true or not, but it does not hinder the historical fact that "Luohe wrote Luo Shu and Luo wrote Luo Ning". It is said that there was a three-year-old boy in ancient times who liked watching people play games.

Day after day, one day I read it and blurted it out.

Isn't this Hetuluo's book?

The chess player invited him to play chess, and the child replied that it would take three days.

When I got home,

Hang Hutuluo's book on the wall and meditate behind closed doors.

In three days, I will be invincible in playing chess with others.

Luo Shu was called ghost book in ancient times. Legend has it that there is a turtle from Luoshui, and there is this image on its shell. As shown in the figure, Luoshu is different from Hetu in that there are only eight figures composed of three straight lines alternating with reality, which represent the eight diagrams of Gan, Kun, Kan, Li, Right, Xun, Gen and Zhen respectively. Fuxi gossip is innate gossip, and later there is Zhou Wenwang's acquired gossip, and King Wen also deduced the eight eight sixty-four hexagrams accordingly. These two kinds of gossip have different directions. Later generations attached a set of figures, and it is impossible to verify when and who attached them. Some scholars think this is a numbers game. The number structure is: wear one of nine shoes, three on the left, seven on the right, two on four shoulders, six on eight feet, five in the middle, all five white circles are positive, and all four black dots are negative (see figure). In a set of gossip unearthed in Mawangdui, Changsha, the figures matched are contrary to the common north and south, which is equivalent to rotating 180 degrees. Some scholars believe that the eight diagrams symbols can be understood in binary, with the dotted line being 0 and the solid line being 1, and the corresponding numbers of Gan, Kun, Kan, Li, Hui, Zhen, Xun and Gen are 7, 0, 2, 5, 3, 1, 6 and 4 respectively. Accordingly, the number corresponding to the 8864 hexagrams is from 0 to 63. If things in innate gossip are interchanged with divinatory symbols, 32 divinatory symbols can be arranged along the east from Kungua (0) in the north of innate gossip to Juegua (3 1) in the south, and the other 32 divinatory symbols can be arranged along the west from Shegua (32) in the north to Gangua (63) in the south.

The predecessors pointed out that the number of Luo Shu originally came from the ninth house, and the number of Luo Shu was 45 stars. Nine palaces and eight winds combined with eight winds and eight gossip, and the central palace, namely the Luoshu Palace, is the core of the surrounding eight palaces. The ancients observed the celestial phenomena and thought that the position of Polaris (Taiyi) had always lived in the north, which could be used as the standard for locating the center. According to bucket handle, Jiugong is to find out the brightest stars in nine directions from celestial bodies as a sign, so that bucket handle can find the position and quantity of the nine planets, that is, the position and quantity of Luoshu.

How can you go to the ninth house with the North Pole in the middle? It has been pointed out by predecessors that as the North Pole, it is used for Beidou, and the bucket is the emperor's car. It is said that Beidou is the car of the Arctic Emperor Star, and it is the image of the Arctic Emperor Star riding around the North Pole. If we can infer the meteorological changes at four o'clock and eight days according to the orientation of bucket handle's rotating finger, that is, nine represents different time series.

The number of nine palaces in Luo Shu is odd, called Yang number, and even, called Yin number, called two, four and sixty-eight. Yang number is dominant, ranking fourth, representing the weather; The number of yin is supplemented, and the number of yin is at the four corners, which represents the earth's gas; Secondary five, rustic, the ancestor of the five elements, is in the middle of the palace and sends four directions. From this, we can draw three points: first. The Jiugong in Luoshu was formed by observing Taiyi's car, the Beidou bucket handle, from the four corners of the center. Two. It is pointed out that the nine palaces in Luo Shu are closely related to the changes of Yin and Yang in the Eight Diagrams. Three. This paper expounds the seasonal transformation and meteorological changes of four seasons, eight festivals and twenty-four solar terms caused by Taiyi Palace.

Change. The charm of Luo Shu has attracted many Chinese and foreign scholars to study it for a long time, which is regarded as the highest achievement of Chinese ancestors' spiritual thinking. It can be said that Luo Shu is all-encompassing, with infinite mystery, small inside and big outside. Between the lines, the sky is in it, between the lines, the earth is in it, and people are not in it. It laid the foundation of China culture, is the origin of primitive civilization in China, and is one of the most precious historical and cultural heritages of mankind.

Among the two existing ancient monuments in Xichangshui Village, the one in the east is sandstone, with the head carved on the upper circle and the head engraved on the lower circle. Because of its long history, there is only one vigorous and powerful word "Luo", which, according to the research of experts and scholars, should be the legacy of Han and Wei Dynasties. A limestone monument in the west was built by Shen Yu, the magistrate of Yongning County in the 12th year of Qing Dynasty (1724). On the tablet, the four big characters "the inscription is issued" were written by Yin. The two ancient monuments are strong evidence that "Luo Chushu is in Luoning".

The traces of Dayu's activities in Luoning County are also silent evidence. From 65438 to 0969, Li Delong, a native of Luoning, Department of History, Henan University, has been keen on the study of Luoshu. He said that Dayu has two main projects to control water: one is Shahekou at the junction of Luoning County and Lushi County, and the other is Yumen River, which is 4 kilometers away from Shanxi, the leading city in Luoning County. According to legend, in ancient times, there was a mountain on the Yumen River, which blocked the river and caused floods. Dayu split the mountain gate to make the river flow into the Luohe River. The local people thanked Dayu, so they named the river Yumen River and built a temple, which still has relics.

We recently climbed Longtou Mountain with the staff in the research room. The existing Wang Yu Temple on the mountain was built in 1995. There are several ancient monuments in front of the temple, one of which was built in the 13th year of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty (1735). The inscription records that the temple was rebuilt three times before the Qing Dynasty.

As far as legend is concerned, "turtle endorsement" is absolutely empty talk. But as a legend, it must have been formed after several legends. We are exploring the original historical facts. Imagine a turtle in Luoshui, and the pattern on its back inspired the sages. It is not impossible to perform a pattern composed of different points, which has been widely circulated as a myth by later generations. Or it is not impossible for the sages to put together the wisdom of all people and perform a pattern of digital combination, so as to expand their influence and make excuses for the God of Linggui. Since Luo Shu exists, there must be a source. After thousands of years of historical evolution, it has become a mystery, but it cannot be denied.

Today's Luoning County has been Yiyang County and Mianchi County since Qin and Han Dynasties, which belong to hongnong county. Yiyang County was located here in the Western Wei Dynasty in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and changed to Xiong 'er County in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. It is named after mountains and rivers. In the second year of Sui Yining (6 18), Xiong 'er point was changed to Yongning, which was the beginning of Yongning County and is now located in the northeast of Luoning. Ming and Qing Dynasties belong to Henan Province. 1200 years later, it was renamed luoning county in the third year of the Republic of China (19 14).

Luoyang originated in Luoning County, Luoyang.

According to legend, when Dayu was in power, a turtle appeared in Luohe, Silonen County, Luoyang, and gave it to Dayu with Luoshu on his back.

Dayu succeeded in harnessing water on this basis, so he decided that the world was Kyushu. On this basis, the "Nine Chapters of Dafa" was formulated to govern society.

Spread in history books, named Hong Fan.

The predecessors pointed out that the number of Luo Shu originally came from the ninth house, and the number of Luo Shu was 45 stars.

Luo Shu is a star located in the North Pole, and the brightest star in the nine directions pointed by bucket handle is the symbol, and its number and orientation are exactly the same as Luo Shu. This is the so-called "nine palaces" in general techniques (Taoism takes this as the cornerstone). Among them, odd numbers one, three, seven and nine are yang, two, four, six and eight are yin and five are middle. This is the standard Luo Shu.

The number of nine palaces in Luo Shu is odd, called Yang number, and even, called Yin number, called two, four and sixty-eight. Yang number is dominant, ranking fourth, representing the weather; The number of yin is supplemented, and the number of yin is at the four corners, which represents the earth's gas; Secondary five, rustic, the ancestor of the five elements, is in the middle of the palace and sends four directions. From this, we can draw three points: first. The Jiugong in Luoshu was formed by observing Taiyi's car, the Beidou bucket handle, from the four corners of the center. Two. It is pointed out that the nine palaces in Luo Shu are closely related to the changes of Yin and Yang in the Eight Diagrams. Three. This paper expounds the seasonal transformation and meteorological changes caused by Taiyi entering the palace at 4: 08 and the 24 solar terms.

Ten days from the source of Luo Shu

Researcher Xu Shaoshan, the author of Huo's positive solution to Zhouyi, believes that Luo Shu originated from the core foundation of ancient astronomy.

The book says, "Participating in change is complicated. Through its changes, it becomes the text of the world; Very few, so the image of the world. If it is not the change of the world, how can it be here? " This is the original Cohesion written by Confucius. For more than two thousand years, countless people have given countless explanations, but they can't give a satisfactory solution.

In fact, the reason is often quite simple.

The core of Zhouyi comes from ancient astronomy, and the way to study the changes of the universe is the norm of human beings. To interpret "numerous and complicated" itself, we should consider the relationship of context and the internal meaning of the full text of Zhouyi.

In ancient literature, the theory of "participating in martial arts" was mentioned more in astronomical calendars. It is worth mentioning that in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, it is said: "The sages of the past dynasties made calendars, watched the movement of the three lights, the development and convergence of the Tao, the length of the scenery, the structure of the battle outline, and the change of the Qinglong." The sky will show the change of the number of days in the sky, and the sky will be like seeing good or bad luck.

First, the expression of numbers.

Yi Chuan copula: "Heaven is one place and two places, three places and four places, five places and six places, seven places and eight places, nine places and ten places." Five days, five digits, five combinations. Five in twenty days, thirty in places and fifty in places. "

Namely: days: one, three, five, seven, nine.

Ground: two, four, six, eight, ten

Say hexagrams: "Yi, the works of sages of past dynasties, were born in praise of God. He went to heaven and earth by counting, and the view changed from yin and yang to divination. He played a role of combining rigidity with softness, being well-founded, confident, exhausted and even dying. "

Namely: days: one, two, three, four, five.

Land: six, seven, eight, nine, ten

Hotan: One, three, five, seven, nine.

Ground: two, four, six, eight, ten

The arrangement of heaven and earth (yin and yang).

Second, the ancients' understanding of celestial bodies

The ancestors of China, from the investigation of tomb M45 of Yangshao culture, had mastered the changing laws of Erbasu, Beidou, Sun and Moon as early as 6,500 years ago. The biggest secret is to find that the earth goes around the sun, that is, the earth turns in reverse. In the Book of Changes, it is easy to count backwards.

Third, Luo Shu and Confucius "participated in the change, which is complicated."

According to the five directions, the anti-rotation lines of the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth of the sky are displayed in an S-shape on the plane, which is consistent with the curve shown by innate gossip, and put into Jiugong to become Jiugong (Luoshu).

Through its changes, it has become the number of nine palaces in the world; The number of nine palaces is ten days. Very few, so it is decided that the image of this world is actually the Eight Diagrams of King Wen (see Huo Zhouyi's positive solution for details).

Fourth, congenital eight diagrams and celestial movement.

Innate gossip horizontal map

Innate gossip's vertical painting

The Book of Changes says: "It is easy to have Tai Chi, giving birth to two instruments, two instruments giving birth to four elephants, and four elephants giving birth to gossip. Good or bad luck will lead to great cause. Therefore, the dharma image is nothing more than heaven and earth, nothing more than four o'clock, and nothing more than the sun and the moon. " This passage is in the form of figures to play a philosophy about the formation of the universe. The horizontal map of innate gossip is shown as a plane (representing length and width), that is, the horizontal and vertical development, while the vertical map of innate gossip is shown as a three-dimensional (representing length, width and height). Innate gossip's horizontal plan proposes that the universe will start to operate while expanding outward (innate gossip's vertical plan), that is, time and space exist at the same time. There are limits to the expansion and existence of the universe. With the appearance of time and space, the movement of the universe is produced. That is, the first driving force of the universe is the universe itself! The plane curve of the motion of celestial bodies in the universe is S-shaped. Compared with American Hawking theory, we know the universe earlier!

It can be seen that there is a certain core secret between Luo Shu and Confucius. Only by digging deep into China's Yi-ology culture can people not misunderstand it and carry forward the national culture.
